Chapter 388.2
“That magic was sealed once more and placed under special guardianship. It was an exceedingly perilous sorcery, utilizing human lives as conduits. It’s possible that Sang-je took a keen interest in the advanced magic stored within the tribe’s archives and unearthed it.”
How long had he been plotting the success of this magic? Alber’s suspicion, initially a seed of doubt, now blossomed into certainty. Whatever ulterior motives that vile being harbored, it certainly wouldn’t have upheld its promise to aid in the tribe’s resurgence.
“Jin, I told you once to use a monster to catch a monster.”
“Yes, I encountered Mara. Mara holds a deep-seated animosity towards Sang-je. He pledged his cooperation in eliminating that wretched being. But I cannot fully trust him. Who knows what schemes Mara might be concealing.”
Alber marveled, “So much has transpired in such a brief span.”
Suddenly, Alber felt as though time, frozen in place, began to flow once more. She realized she had foolishly confined herself to the shackles of ancient traditions, relying solely on magic. Meeting Jin through a mere dream had sparked a change within her.
No, it was more than just a dream.
Realizing that nothing would change if she remained passive, Alber embarked on an uncertain adventure, risking everything to meet Jin.
Her most significant journey in life involved forming an alliance with a creature. Following the bitter failure of that endeavor, she shied away from further adventures, convinced that the future was already predetermined, relying solely on magic to glimpse its path.
